Shannara vs Warriors
Two fantasy series side by side, straight from the catalog data: Warriors is the longer series (35 books vs 25 books); Warriors is the more recent one, starting in 2003. There's no wrong answer — pick the shape that fits your reading appetite, and Shelfmark will keep your place in either (no account needed).
